A 52-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday on a misdemeanor charge of prostitution at a local massage parlor, according to Fort Wayne police.

An undercover officer went to Fort Wayne Health Spa, at 821 Coliseum Blvd. W., just after 11 a.m. and after receiving a massage, the woman offered to perform a sex act with the officer, police said.

The woman was arrested. During an interview, she told police she didn’t think there was anything wrong with offering sex acts to massage-parlor clients.

Another employee of the same business was arrested in October 2006 on prostitution charges, police said.
